What have you tried already? We just started getting it on a regular basis, no issues before. Have not had time to try anything. 10. Have you tried any of the things below? I have not. This seems to be a common error and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction before we start messing with much needed plugins :/ Server Specs: xeon x3470 2.93 Ghz 16gb ddr3 ram 1gbit bandwidth map running on ramdisk. Whoops, i just went through the server log file, and i found an illegal stance exception. That player is now banned. Stupid zone alarm :/ EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
can you tell me more about illegal stance exception? is that the player's fault? what is it caused by? i have gotten this a few times and assumed it was just a bug. is it an attempt at an exploit?
